Publisher Description

Written by John Owen, one of the best known of the Puritans. In The Mortification of Sin, John Owen insisted on the importance of the Christian dealing effectively with their sinful tendencies and attitudes. He believed that God, through his Word and Spirit, had provided the guidelines and the power for this to be achieved. Owen effectively dismisses various excuses for not engaging in self scrutiny and yet avoids the current trend of self absorption. In so doing he provides principles to help believers live lives of holiness. As with all of Owen's writings, continues to be widely read and greatly appreciated to this day.

"Owen is always a tough read, but this book is well worth the time. As is true with the other Puritans, every page of writing is packed with scholarship and practical application. This is a useful book for ALL Christians, and multiple readings will reward the effort."

    " John Owen was a little overwhelming for me. But it leaves me with the urgency that I must mortify/kill my sin daily.. and let God's greatness be constant in my thoughts. If there be a day I think I am sinless and blameless and don't need God, Lord, deliver me from the power of sin! "

    " Excellent book. A classic on how God has graciously provided the means of mortification so that we can overcome sin and Satan and live in communion with God. "

    " John Owen's work on mortification covers the seldom today treated topic of putting sin to death in a thorough and convincing manner, but it does require a lot of thought and hence is a bit slow to read. "

    " An unyieldingly dull book. One can surmise that the reason that there's no more Puritans is because they were all bored to death through reading Mr Owen. "
